Detroit Lions hire Denver Broncos' Mike Sundeen as new head athletic trainer

The Detroit Lions have a new head athletic trainer.

The Lions hired Mike Sundeen from the Denver Broncos as their new head trainer, the second major addition they've made to their medical staff this offseason.

Sundeen replaces Kevin Bastin, who served as the Lions trainer in 2014-18 then returned for a two-year term early in the 2021 season after stepping away for the final two seasons of the Matt Patricia era.

In February, the Lions hired Arizzona Cardinals physical therapist consultant Brett Fischer as their director of player health and performance.
